Buying garden plants online, is easily the most suitable way of obtaining them. It is so easy nowadays, to purchase plants online, that one really has little need to travel to the greenhouse or store to buy them.
If you continue to care for your plants and handle them properly, you will be rewarded with many more, from cuttings or by splitting, enabling you to improve your selection, or to give away to friends and family. Just imagine how proud of the garden you will be, when that begins to occur Be conscious that the plants may be sent bareroot when receiving your order. This means they were sent without any earth around the roots. The nurseries do this to reduce the cost of transport. With this in mind, be prepared to plant your purchase the moment it arrives. Scrutinize all of the plants, as soon as your order arrives. If you have any problems contact the greenhouse's customer service. It must be on your order form or on the packing slip. They have been quite good about replacing damaged plants. After everything is satisfactory to you, it time to put. As you may have lately noticed on 'Better Homes and Gardens', someone planted a nice little pot plant along a fence, and before they knew it the 'little pot plant' was 8m tall and going strong. This was a Ficus, which is well known to be a fantastic house plant, but can reach as much as 50m tall in the garden! This is simply an illustration, however it actually pays to consider it, as removing a tree of the dimension can cost a lot, and you are left with an empty area within the backyard which might take years to fill.
Most plants are sent via express post, to make sure the fastest delivery possible. It is always the goal to have plants in transport as small as possible, and when your plants arrive it is very important to unpack your plants as soon as possible. Lots of nurseries soak all plants in Seaweed solution before delivering to decrease transport stress. Unpack your plants carefully, and soak them immediately in seaweed solution. (We do not advise soaking for Dracaena draco, cacti and succulents. Rather just dip them in the seaweed, and plant immediately). Because of the reality that Seaweed Solution is not a nitrogen based fertiliser, it is risk-free to use on all plants. Soak your plants for a few hours or overnight. We do however suggest you do NOT soak succulents, cycads and caudex plants for any more than thirty minutes.
Watering is among the things many people worry about. On pot size above if our instructions are followed by you, your plants is a lot more forgiving than they used to be. All plants choose a soil which is well draining and free flowing, and the soil will be allowed by pots of the right size to do this. When the top inch of soil is dry, in summer this may be every day, in cold temperatures this may be only once every 14 days a great rule of thumb is to water.
